The field-reversed configuration(FRC) plasma thruster driven by rotating magnetic field(RMF), abbreviated as the RMF-FRC thruster, is a new type of electric propulsion technology that is expected to accelerate the deep space exploration. An experimental prototype, including diagnostic devices, was designed and constructed based on the principles of the RMF-FRC thruster,with an RMF frequency of 210 kHz and a maximum peak current of 2 kA. Under the rated operating conditions, the initial plasma density was measured to be 5 × 1017m-3, and increased to 2.2 × 1019m-3after the action of RMF. The coupling efficiency of RMF was about 53%, and the plasma current reached 1.9 kA. The axial magnetic field changed in reverse by 155 Gauss,successfully reversing the bias magnetic field of 60 Gauss, which verifies the formation of FRC plasma. After optimization research, it was found that when the bias magnetic field is 100 Gauss,the axial magnetic field reverse variation caused by FRC is the highest at 164 Gauss. The experimental results are discussed and strategies are proposed to improve the performance of the prototype.

A large number of runaway electrons(REs) generated during disruption can cause significant damage to next-generation large-scale tokamaks. The influence of three-dimensional(3D)helical magnetic perturbations on the suppression of RE generation was explored using a set of 3D helical coils in J-TEXT tokamak, which can excite m/n =-2/2 helical magnetic *** evidence shows that the-2/2 magnetic perturbations caused by the opposite coil current direct plasma toward the high-field side, simultaneously enhancing the magnetic fluctuations, which would enhance the radial loss of REs and even prevent RE generation. On the other hand,-2/2 magnetic perturbations can also reduce the cooling time during the disruption phase and generate a population of high-energy REs, which can interact with high-frequency magnetic fluctuations and in turn suppress RE generation. The critical helical coil current was found to correlate with electron density, requiring higher coil currents at higher densities. According to the statistical analysis of RE generation at different electron densities,the applied-2/2 magnetic perturbations can increase the magnetic fluctuations to the same level at lower electron densities, which can decrease the threshold electron density for RE *** will be beneficial for RE mitigation in future large tokamak devices.

In order to advance the research on suppressing tearing modes and driving plasma rotation, a DC power supply (PS) system has been developed for dynamic resonant magnetic perturbation (DRMP) coils and applied in the J-TEXT experiment. To enrich experimental phe- nomena in the J-TEXT tokamak, applying the circulating current four-quadrant operation mode in the DRMP DC PS system is proposed. By using the circulating current four-quadrant oper- ation, DRMP coils can be smoothly controlled without the dead-time when the current polarity reverses. Essential circuit analysis, control optimization and simulation of desired scenarios have been performed for normal current. Relevant simulation and test results are also presented.

The equilibrium fitting code (EFIT) and its application in the J-TEXT tokamak are integrated by the Matlab language. The function of analysis and visualization to the results is added. In addition, the experiment data measured by soft X-ray (SXR) are used to calculate plasma equilibrium as a constraint condition. The improved EFIT code is used for J-TEXT discharge and the profiles of plasma parameters such as flux function, safety factor q, pressure and current density are obtained from the reconstructed configurations.

Recently, hydrogen fueling experiments with supersonic molecular beam injection (SMBI) system have been performed in the J-TEXT tokamak. To evaluate the effects of the in- jection amount of SMBI on plasma behaviors, moderate and intensive SMBs have been separately injected and compared with each other in Ohmic discharges. With moderate SMBs, electron den- sity increases about twice as before, the size of magnetic island slightly decreases, and the edge toroidal rotation speed in a counter-current direction, measured by a high resolution spectrometer (Carbon V ion, 227.09 nm, r/a-= 0.7-0.8), is accelerated from 8 km/s to 12 km/s. The state of higher electron density with moderate SMBI can be maintained for a long period, which indicates that plasma confinement is improved. However, with intensive SMBs, the accompanied magne- tohydrodynamic (MHD) activities are triggered, and the electron density increases moderately. The edge toroidal velocity is decreased, in certain cases even reversed in the co-current direction. The statistical result of experimental data for moderate and intensive SMBs suggests a preferred fueling amount (less than 3.2 ~ 1019) to improve the SMBI fueling efficiency in experiments.

We demonstrate a visible-light optical phased array (OPA) realized on a thin-film lithium niobate (TFLN) platform. The OPA chip integrates 32 channels and independently modulates the phase of each channel through an electro-optic phase shifter for the first time, to our knowledge, exhibiting a rapid response speed. The electro-optic rising edge response time is 12 ns, while the falling edge response time is 14 ns. Additionally, a combination of non-periodic arrays and a slab grating is employed to suppress the grating lobes of far-field beams, thereby achieving a large field of view (FOV) and a small beam divergence. A 32-channel OPA has been demonstrated, showing a FOV of 40° and a beam divergence of 0.41° in the phase tuning direction at 633 nm.
The density limit is one of the major obstacles to achieving the desired fusion performance in tokamaks. However, the underlying physics mechanism for its recently observed power dependence in experiments has not been...
